Keeping an eye on IT performance isn't always as easy as you might think. For one thing, there are so many variables that it's sometimes difficult to get a read on which factors are influencing the end effects, even when you know what you're analyzing.

For SIO customers, however, it's a totally different story because we provide tools that eliminate the guesswork when it comes to assessing IT performance. And once armed with real statistics and metrics, business owners can make wise decisions about their IT departments.

3D printing is an industry with a lot going on, to say the least. You have inventors, hardware manufacturers, software creators, and people contributing from then private sector, public sector, education sector ... well, you see what I mean.

It has been said about businesses in the 21st century: You are your data. Indeed, the internal information you process in order to offer goods and services is combined with the data you collect from your customers on a daily basis. And that paints the picture of what your business is.

SIO understands the importance of data security, data management, and data sharing to its customers. Businesses run on data, and they need it to be safe, organized, and available so that employees can do their jobs and customers can get what they need.

Wireless Internet service, along with huge amounts of data being processed, transferred and stored at any give moment of the day, have been pushing computing capabilities into the future at a rapid clip for years now.

Mega online retailer Amazon is continuing to pursue drone technology in relation to its next-phase delivery methods. With the recent revelation that a facility in Cambridge, UK is being devoted to the task, more interest in 3D-printed drones is surfacing with other companies.

Email communication is vital to the running of businesses today. Without reliable email, communication can get bogged down in a hurry, and this costs businesses time and (ultimately) money.

Running email in-house is an expensive and unreliable approach. Email servers cost money, and they all need constant maintenance. Eventually, they need to be replaced, and those costs add up in a hurry.
